New BalanceWomen's 520 V7 Running Shoe

Have worn New Balance for years and these are so comfortable for casual use. Love the color combo and look of the shoe. I usually wear a size 9, but ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly. This is my 4th pair.

The only reason I gave it three stars where I did is because I had to send them back; too small for my left foot and tight on my right. I ordered the largest and widest size they had so cannot size up any further. Otherwise, they are very nice looking shoes; good support, good cushioning, well made.

In the vast realm of athletic footwear, finding the perfect companion for one’s feet can be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. The New Balance 520 V7 Running Shoe beckoned with its promise, prompting me to give it a go. And as I threaded this journey, the shoe evolved from a mere athletic accessory to an essential part of my daily routine. Here’s my tale, painted with shades of adrenaline, comfort, and revelations.Unraveling the Nuances of New Balance’s Craftsmanship:From the very first stride, the 520 V7 felt different. The shoes seemed to have an intuitive understanding of my feet, adapting seamlessly. Having previously worn shoes from Adidas UltraBoost series and Nike’s Air Zoom line, I was accustomed to a certain level of comfort. However, New Balance managed to introduce a fresh dimension, especially with its cushioning, which felt like a gentle embrace for my feet.Pros:⚡ Design Excellence: The synthetic upper is durable and stylish. My past endeavors with Asics Gel-Kayano showcased the importance of a reliable upper, and New Balance doesn’t disappoint. It strikes a balance between aesthetics and function, something I’ve grown to appreciate in my daily runs.Traction to Trust: Running both on trails and pavements, the rubber sole’s grip felt reassuring. Compared to my experiences with Brooks Ghost series, the traction here was commendable and made each run more confident.Comfort Beyond Compare: Each step, be it during my morning jogs or evening walks, was cushioned. This nuanced comfort was reminiscent of my time with the Saucony Ride series, yet New Balance added its own unique touch.Versatility Personified: This shoe effortlessly transitioned from being a reliable running partner to a stylish accessory for casual outings, giving the likes of Mizuno Wave Rider a run for its money.Cons:Wear and Care: Although machine washable, there’s apprehension about longevity post multiple washes. This reminds me of my Skechers Go Run series, which posed similar maintenance questions.Lacing Niggles: The traditional lace-up system, while reliable, needed occasional tweaks, especially during long runs.Final Thoughts:The New Balance Women’s 520 V7 is more than just a shoe; it’s an experience. As someone who’s traversed the vast landscape of athletic footwear, I can confidently say that New Balance has carved a niche with this offering. It’s a shoe that not only competes with market giants but often surpasses them in various facets. While it’s not without its quirks, its strengths far overshadow its limitations, making it a worthy consideration for both seasoned runners and casual wearers.

I am between a 9-9.5. Took me a couple trys, but finally got my size right! Very comfortable! If your foot is a little wider..just get your size and take out the inner sole. I got the 9.5 wide and they were too big. Regular 10 was too big. I almost gave up. Then I got the regular 9.5. At first it was a little bit to snug. When I took out the inner sole...fit perfectly and gave me that extra room I needed. Also the 9.5 gave me some extra room instead of the 9.

Light weight.good for those who have wide feet

Too small

Great shoe. Fit perfect. Very comfortable. Great price.

I love New Balance shoes they are one of my favorite brands, I however had a horrible experience with this shoes. They had no support for my feet and where hurting the ball of my foot. I thought it was something I could fix with some good insoles, so I got some orthopedic insoles with arch support and that help with avoiding plantar fascia. As wearing the shoes was starting to cause me great pain and the 4 days I wore them. Once the insoles came in it helped relive the pain so I decided to give them a second try it helped but I sadly the damage was done. I ended up having to go to the doctor and they told me I had to not workout for 2 to 3 weeks to let my foot heal. That was about a month ago and it still hurts once in a while. I did get new shoes and now I have a perfectly good pair of new shoes, but I won't wear this anymore I refuse to give to anyone else. I found out that the design were your toes start is way to tight even though I got them wide it restrains the ball of your feet not letting enough blood flow and causing an aching pain that almost caused tearing on the ball of my foot. This is definitely not a work out shoe and I am not sure I will wear them again even if they cost a good amount of money. Update 04/08 I had my second doctors appointment yesterday , I still cant work out and my doctor had to send me to a specialist because of the damage this shoes caused my feet. please do not buy this shoes if you think they are expensive now wait till the doctors bills get you. I wouldn't even give this shoes to my worst enemy.

I like the sketcher shoes. especially those with no laces, as I wear them as slippers. Very nice and comfortable..

I had these shoe before and found them very comfortable and ordered them again but the size was too small

Ligeros y cómodos para hacer ejercicio, la talla es 4 siempre me quedan ligeramente holgados, estos ajustaron más, pero todo bien. Sugerencia si se quieren holgados 1/2 número más.

Me encantan! Son muy cómodos y el color está divino. Yo los uso para correr y hacer ejercicio y me han funcionado de maravilla. Totalmente recomendados

Muy comodos
